I have worn Asics Kayano shoes for years. The laces have always worn out before the shoes do but with this last pair it was terrible. The laces were literally falling apart after THREE runs. I love the shoes but feel that for the price I shouldn't have to go out and buy new laces for them in the first week!

I have ran in the Kayanos for the past 13 years. They hold up well. The only problem I have had is that I have narrow feet, and I have to really tighten the shoe strings to get the feel that I like when I run. Twice, the eyelets have broken from tightening the shoes too much. I had to reconfigure the string to allow me to continue to use the shoes.

I had the Kayano 19 and they carried me over 300 miles on the road and treadmill. I finally retired them to casual service after a 15K through Atlanta. I just did 6 miles (on a treadmill) to break in one of my new pairs of Kayano 20s. I couldn't even tell they were new...except newer cushion! I have a 10K this weekend and can't wait to get them out on the road!

I've been running in Asics shoes for at least 30 years (I'm 61 now) and have always enjoyed working out in them. I rotate them into daily walk-around shoes when they've reached the end of their running life, so they continue to provide style and comfort after they are "retired". When they get "retired" a second time, they become rowing shoes in our boat, where I don't care what the salt water does to them!

I read all good reviews about these shoes, so thought I would give them a try. I am in the minority on these shoes. I have already sent them back after 3 weeks trying them. These were the most uncomfortable running shoes I have ever worn. I run 30-40 miles a week and after wearing these shoes for a 5 mile run my feet and legs felt as if I did a 20 mile run. I kept hoping they would get better but just got worse and thought if I continue wearing I'm going to get an injury, so back they went. I will stick to Nike shoes as I have had the best luck with any running shoe by Nike. Like I said before I seem to be in the minority so if you try it may be better for you.

I have been running in the Gel-Kayano for years. The older models, frankly, were the best models. This shoe has become increasingly insubstantial with time, made of ever cheaper materials.

Last year's model wasn't bad. At least I could run in it. The update, however, is virtually unusable. The cushioning is too much like a Brooks shoe -- strangely unresponsive, no energy return. Worst of all, this is not the shoe for you if you have a high in the step. The sides seem shorter, so that the laces and tongue are doing more work keep the shoe on your foot. The overall effect is one of discomfort. I don't recommend issue.

If it says anything, after getting the shoe, I bought three pair of last year's model.

This is my second pair of Kayano 20's. I put over 700 miles on my previous pair and am currently at 100 on this pair. I alternate between Saucony and Asics and these are definitely the softest under my feet and help me avoid ankle and knee pain. I alternate days to maximize the cushion recovery but always look forward to my days in the kayanos. Will hopefully pick up a few more as they are retired. Only downside is that the toe box is a little more snug on these than on the saucony's but it only really bothers me every once in a while. Not too bad though overall.

I run mainly on hard paved surfaces, about 100 to 150 miles a month. I have not had any injuries while wearing Kayanos. I tried switching twice, but always had problems with minor inflammation. Comfortable shoe, summer or winter. I put around 600 miles on a pair before turning them in.

I'm a long time Kayano user, old (uh...over 65), heavy (185), wide feet (4EEE-bunion) dictate this selection. They have served pretty well over the years (started at maybe 12s or earlier IIRC). I have, closets full of old ones for yard works and watching TV. I've been generally satisfied. They do wear out quickly and at the price it gets $$$...but you get what you pay for I suppose. Soon after I got the first pair of latest K-20s, I started to hurt on one midfoot near the ball, resulting in a now persistent injury (ugh). It has lasted so long that I now think the shoes contributed, but of course I can't conclude this. The forefoot cushinoning (and maybe slightly lower/tighter) or something in this area is not as comfy as some previous models(..or not)? Too tough to be scientific about it, just my gut feel. I hope the 21s don't hurt...if they do, I will look for alternative 4EEE cushioning shoe next. Everyone is different so YMMV...and I know it just could be old age and many miles catching up :-(

During the winter I train about 20 miles per week or so. I like the weight of these shoes and they are comfortable. I am 6'2" and weigh 195 lbs. Nothing that I really don't like about these shoes. I use aftermarket insoles in these. They are very similar to the Kayano 19's.

This is my second pair of Kayano 20's. My first pair got just under 500 miles before I needed to switch them out. I ran in the 21's just to see the difference and, although the 21's have a little bit more cushion, the 20's are an awesome shoe especially with prices dropping in favor of the 21's being released. Grab a pair while you still can!

I am a heavy jogger (195 lbs) and run 3 or 4 times per week for 30 minutes each time. The size 14D or 14EE work fine. The soles show considerable wear after about 3 or 4 months, so I use 3 or 4 pair per year. I have been using Asics Kayano since the model 6 and always regret it when I try another type. The styles and colors could be better but the performance keeps me coming back.
